- You can commit to writing 1 or 2 articles a month, for at least 6 months
Subject:
- A series of articles about a city life related subject

What we can offer you:
- Our audience: a lot of city loving people around the world will be reading your blog posts

(tip: find creative commons licensed pictures via Flickr) - Landscape pictures only

- You can promote your own blog / product in your article occasionally, but keep it subtle.
And disclose any relevant affiliations if you write about a project /service / product you’re involved in. - Articles you publish on our blog need to be unique – not published on your blog or any other blog in original or any modified form
- You can only write under your real name, not under an alias
- Please promote your articles online wherever you can!
We will review each individual post, and may give you some tips to improve it before we publish. We are not obliged to publish each article you send.
